The strongest brain in entertainment

Chapter 457 Let's Resign

Sister Jiang never hires incompetent people. These four screenwriters are the backbone of each comedy team.Especially Wu Meng, who was one of the main creators of last year's Spring Festival Gala skit "I Love My Family".

Wu Meng smiled lightly after taking the notebook: "Let's pay our respects to Teacher Li's demeanor."

Sister Jiang said: "Well, you are busy. Teacher Li should come to the studio tomorrow. Then you can communicate well. You should do your homework first and sort out your revisions."

Cui Yuandao: "Sister Jiang, is Teacher Li easy to communicate with?"

"It's easy to communicate. Don't worry. As long as your opinions are correct, even if you want to completely reject and rewrite Teacher Li's manuscript, Teacher Li won't mind."

Wu Meng couldn't believe it: "literati are generally stubborn. I don't mean Mr. Li, I really don't mean Mr. Li."

It is true that literati have a common problem—self-esteem is very high, but it is not just literati, basically feeling good about themselves is a common problem for everyone.

Sister Jiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Teacher Li is very willing to adopt other people's opinions. He has a broad mind, at least 36C."

Now the four screenwriters were relieved and could finally take action.

"Come on, hurry up and print it out."

"Our work has begun. You know, we are the key to this program!"

Sister Jiang said with a smile: "You are busy, I have other work."

The editing room is an independent small office with a printer. After the manuscript is printed and bound, everyone sits at the desk and prepares paper and pens for correction and notes.

The office fell silent instantly, and everyone devoted themselves to their work.But in an instant, the four pairs of eyes lit up almost at the same time.

"Wow!"

"Ha ha!"

"Good! Good!"

……

As soon as the first wave of laughter stopped, it took about three seconds for the next wave of laughter to resume:
"Oh my God, what a twist!"

"Tucao is too hot!"

"Haha, this meme makes me laugh!"

……

Because everyone’s reading speed and personal habits are different, the progress of reading manuscripts will naturally be different.So, apart from the two waves of unified laughter at the beginning, the laughter in the editing room became chaotic and dense, accompanied by the sound of patting the table from time to time.

Across the door, the colleagues in the outside work area looked at the editorial room suspiciously, not knowing what evil was inside.

"What's the matter inside?"

"I do not know!"

"Go and see?"

"Go ahead, my head hurts from the work I'm doing."

……

After someone knocked on the door, I saw four people inside were leaning back and holding the manuscript, and someone was holding his stomach and laughing and crying.

"What happen to you guys?"

"It's nothing, what's the matter?" Wu Meng asked.

"No, I will continue to work, you continue to laugh, don't bother."

……

The manuscript was finally reviewed, and all the pens and paper prepared by the four were useless, because there was no time for others to care about when reading the manuscript, and only instinctive laughter remained.

Wu Meng took a sip of water to calm down, and said, "Everyone, please share your opinion."

Lu Dong: "Uh... I have no objection."

Cai Kang: "Well, let me think about it again."

Sun Peng: "Basically perfect."

Wu Meng asked: "Basically perfect? ​​Then tell me about the flaws."

Sun Peng: "Uh..."

Seeing this, Wu Meng suggested, "How about we read it again?"

Everyone nodded quickly, but this time they made trouble line by line.

But in the end, there was no problem with the joke, the structure was complete, and the rhythm was perfect.After everyone read it again, there was still no word on the notebook next to them.

You can't change it. You can't change a single word in the manuscript of "I Want to Have a Family."

Not being able to change a single word means that there is no need to change it at all.

For example, if there is a sentence in the original text——I have a brother named Shunliu, you have to change it to "I have a brother named Shunqi", which is also possible, but the change is meaningless.

The draft of "I Want to Have a Home" is like this, there is no meaning of any changes, adding a few more sentences is superfluous, and subtracting a few sentences will destroy the structure and rhythm.

Four words popped out of the four screenwriters' heads at this moment:
Perfect!Perfect!Perfect! and perfect!

The four people looked at each other. As professional comedy screenwriters, they were convinced from the inside out, from the top of their toes to the strands of their hair.

As practitioners in this industry, it is too difficult to make them laugh, after all, they are immune to many stalks and baggage.

But today's "I want to have a family" completely gave them a new feeling, the jokes are new, the content is sharp and spicy, the complaints are full of power, and they reach people's hearts.

They have to obey!However, at this moment, as new employees who have just been hired with a high salary, they feel that they are really sorry for the high salary if they don't give full play to their professional skills and level.

So, they decided to use their professionalism to find a way to polish this talk show speech and make it even better.

"Let's watch it again!"

"it is good!"

……

It was time for lunch, and several screenwriters came out to receive box lunches.

Liu Na asked curiously, "What are you looking at in the office?"

"Ah, Teacher Li's manuscript, from the first episode of the talk show." Wu Meng said.

"Oh, how's it going?"

Wu Meng pretended to be calm and said: "Not bad."

Sun Peng also said "Yeah", "Okay."

The corner of Liu Na's mouth twitched slightly, and she thought to herself: If it's just "good" and "okay", you'll laugh like idiots, if it's "perfect", you won't laugh out of diabetes?

After dinner, several screenwriters who returned to the office were silent for a while, with mixed emotions.

Why are you silent?
Because they were recruited to create talk show scripts, which is their responsibility and value. As a result, the value of the four famous screenwriters in the industry seems to be invalid, and the meaning of their existence is almost equal to zero.

Wu Meng said: "Let's leave this "I Want to Have a Home" as it is for the time being. I don't think there is any need to change it for the time being."

"Well, I think so too."

"Let's create the manuscript for the second issue."

"Okay, let's start working now! People are busy outside, and we have to give full play to our value. I don't know what the theme of Mr. Li's second issue is going to be?"

"I think the theme of the rich second generation is very good. Why don't you suggest to Mr. Li that we write this theme in the second issue?"

While talking, Sister Jiang walked into the office, and she asked, "How is the review of Mr. Li's manuscript?"

"Uh... very good, there is no need to modify it."

"Don't worry, I've told you before that Mr. Li is willing to accept criticism and opinions."

"No! Teacher Li's manuscript is completely fine. Sister Jiang, haven't you read Teacher Li's manuscript?"

Sister Jiang shook her head, "No, I was busy just now."

Wu Meng asked again: "Sister Jiang, what is the theme of our second episode? We prepare in advance, and everyone must work hard to write the manuscript for the second episode. If not, what do you think of the theme of the rich second generation?"

"The second issue? Teacher Li has finished writing."

"what?"

"Can't you?"

Sister Jiang smiled: "What's wrong with this? Are you underestimating Teacher Li's work efficiency?"

"No, this speed is a bit scary."

Sister Jiang said: "I will ask for the manuscript for you, and you can review this manuscript carefully and revise it."

Sister Jiang called Li Fan and asked for the manuscript of the second issue, and then printed it out and distributed it to several people, then turned to leave.

Wu Meng suddenly handed the manuscript of "I Want to Have a Home" on the table to Sister Jiang, and said, "Sister Jiang, take a look at the manuscript of the first issue."

"it is good."

Not long after, bursts of laughter rang out in Sister Jiang's office and the editorial department almost at the same time, but Sister Jiang's laughter was a little crazy.

Everyone thought: Yes, another crazy one.

Near the end of get off work at night, the opinions in the editorial department were unified again.

Wu Meng frowned and lowered his head, seemingly casually said: "What is the theme of our third issue?"

"Yes, the theme of the third issue! Let's do the third issue."

……

"I asked Teacher Li, and he has finished the manuscript for the third issue, but he is not in the dormitory now, and there is no one in the dormitory, so he can't send it to us."

After hearing Sister Jiang's answer, the screenwriters were stunned for a moment.

In the past, everyone competed with colleagues. In the workplace, it was really life and death. Now that you have changed to a new unit, this time you finally stopped competing with colleagues and changed to competing with the boss. It is really "I will die!"

The editing room instantly became a decoration, a decoration that was paid for.

They are thinking about a unified question, why are we here?Is it just holding the boss's manuscript in charge of giggling?

Then this job is very easy... Smile, the basic salary is only 1!
It's just that I don't know how many days this leisurely job can be done. After all, this place doesn't seem to be a charity organization.

……

The next morning, when Li Fan came to school from his home, Wang Chuan sat down next to him and whispered, "Brother Fan, when will your talk show be recorded? I'll book 6 tickets first."

"Why six?"

"The five sisters in the girl's dormitory want it!"

"Stupid you, people create opportunities to get along alone, why do you bring so many light bulbs with you?"

"Give your younger siblings some face, they are begging your younger siblings! If you can't get tickets, your younger siblings will lose face."

Li Fan rolled his eyes at him and said, "How far has it progressed? Tell me honestly."

"Home run was just hit last night!"

Li Fan was startled: "Your uncle, so fast? Only three or four days!"

"Uh... you think I'm you?" Wang Chuan left with disdain on his face.

Hey, I called this guy a joke!
After two classes in the morning, Li Fan drove to the studio, opened the door and asked about everyone's work progress.

"Mr. Li, there is no problem with the camera, sound engineer, and lighting engineer, and we have all been contacted."

"It's okay to serve Huadao!"

"The problem of the venue has also been solved, it is a big venue with thousands of people."

……

Li Fan nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Since the problem is not serious, let's set the first session of recording at 8 o'clock this Saturday night."

After a few more instructions, Li Fan turned to the editing room. At this time, the door of the editing room was open, and the four screenwriters were waiting for the boss to lecture them.

Li Fan walked into the editorial room, stretched out his hand and greeted the four people he met for the first time in turn, and asked: "Yesterday, everyone has reviewed my manuscript. If you have any comments, please feel free to ask. Don't worry about it. I am happy to accept it." Criticize and correct."

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Wu Meng choked out a sentence: "Well, Teacher Li, it's just too good, there's no need to change it!"

Li Fan smiled and said: "I told you, don't put any burden on me. Although this manuscript was written by the boss, I am willing to give you advice. Please feel free to speak your mind."

"No, it's perfect, really!"

Seeing Li Fan's eyes sinking slightly, Wu Meng asked cautiously, "Mr. Li, have you finished writing the manuscript for the third issue?"

"Well, I closed the end yesterday and finished writing."

Sun Peng: "What about the fourth issue?"

"The fourth issue hasn't been written yet."

"Then we—" Wu Meng suddenly stopped talking. He wanted to say that we should write it. After all, they are the real screenwriters, and this is their duty.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized a problem. If they were really asked to write, could their manuscripts be more exciting than Li Fan's? !
It's impossible!

Li Fan asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Then... then Mr. Li, what can we do for you? What kind of auxiliary work can we do?" Wu Meng said.

Cui Yuandao: "Yes, Teacher Li, I will find video and image materials for you. Your manuscript of "I Want to Have a Home" must be accompanied by materials to be more shocking."

Lu Dong hurriedly said: "I'm pretty good at PS, and I also understand film and television production. Making material is my strong point!"

"Uh..." Li Fan took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, "I've finished all of these, please take a look, revise and make suggestions."

Everyone looked at the small USB flash drive in despair.

Well, you have done everything yourself, you said, should we resign voluntarily or resign voluntarily?
Li Fan said again: "Everyone, don't have any burdens. Your opinions are not against me, but to make the show more exciting. Each of us hopes that the show will be exciting, so please give us your advice and speak freely!"

Everyone laughed awkwardly, feeling ashamed when facing a boss who specialized in this industry.
